These are almost identical to the ones I made last week, all I did differently for these was to use embroidery floss to stitch the stripes on their heads instead of using pieces of felt; also I changed the positioning of their arms a tiny little bit. In hindsight I would also have done their noses in black for all three instead of the grey that I used for two of them because it doesn't show the stitching as much. I measured them this time - just over 3.5 inches!

These are really fun to make and very simple which is just as well, the little girl in question is already asking for a list of other itty bitty creatures

*Updated 16 March 2013* Just a few more that I made so that she'd have every colour of the rainbow...
